UFC star Jorge Masvidal revealed earlier this year about his split from First Round Management. The UFC BMF title holder severed ties with his longtime representatives after reports of the same surfaced in December of last year. While he revealed last month that both parties are currently entangled in legal proceedings, his latest tweet has fans concerned about the situation.

Jorge Masvidal has been in trouble with the law for quite some time now. The 38-year-old is still involved in legal proceedings regarding his alleged assault on Colby Covington. Now, to add to his woes, he has another legal hurdle to worry about. Only this time, it is against his own former management team.

Masvidal revealed during an interview with Ariel Helwani last month that he was in a legal tussle with First Round Management. However, ‘Gamebred’ abstained from making any allegations or bad-mouthing his former representatives.
